The Spurs are on a 2-5 slide recently, since Jakob Poeltl has been out with Covid protocol and recovery. According to the lineups released yesterday, the big Austrian is still out tonight, unless he’s a late addition at gametime. This means that the Spurs will once again have trouble against talented bigs, and Karl-Anthony Towns definitely fits that criterion.
